===========================

Time passed, and the small Foveros, tucked inside Merlin's hoodie, stuck his little head out the tiny neck hole in the hoodie. He looked around curiously, sniffing the air and licking it, before slowly crawling out. Struggling inside the hoodie, he squirmed until he was finally out.

Looking around, he noticed the good new red thing had become peach now, and was sleeping. He knew better than to disturb a sleeping beast, since his parents would always scold him not to disturb one.

He quietly walked towards open wall and decided to see where he was. The other walls were blocked off and he didn't know what was on the other side. And this one had nothing. Naturally he would simply walk out from here.

*Thump*

There was some sort of invisible barrier blocking Foveros from leaving, and if he used some of his strength to break it, the new thing might wake up.

But he could do something else!

He could gate his way to the outside. Gate is the name his parents called the ability they all had to move through space.

Opening a gate, Foveros waddled in confidently, and within moments appeared on the ground outside the building. Looking around, he saw many new things walking around and talking with each other.

Suddenly, one of the new things saw him and began shouting.

"Alert! Intruder! Requesting backup!"

Foveros didn't know what the new thing was saying, but he didn't sound happy. Mentally shrugging, Foveros waddled into another gate and vanished from the scene, just quick enough to be spotted by some other new things.

"What was that?"

"How should I know?"

"Quick! Report to Team leader Max. We have an unidentified random thing, with the ability to turn invisible! I will secure the area."

"Ok."

On the other side of the gate, Foveros was feeling extremely proud of himself.

'Fufu That invisible barrier cannot trick me twice. Hahaha!'

He had teleported his way into the building, and saw that there were even more new things here. Some were sitting, some were standing, and some were walking around in a hurry.

As he was waddling his way around the ground floor, someone began to call out to him.

"Well, if it isn't Foveros. What are you doing out here? Sir Merlin is in his room. Let's go!"

Said the new thing. Foveros recognised this specific one, since it was with the red new thing when he first found the new things. The red new thing was special compared to the others, since it had that blue energy. The rest of the new things were empty.

'Foveros?' he asked in his mind. What is this new thing saying. Foveros? What is that?

But the new thing suddenly stopped, and looked down at Foveros.

"Did you just talk?"

'Yes. I can't understand most new things, but you and the red new thing are different.'

"Red?" James was confused for a moment before realising that the red thing must be the blood covered Merlin.

"You mean Sir Merlin?"

'Merlin? Merlin! So the red new thing it called Merlin.'

"Yes. And Sir Merlin calls you Foveros."

'Foveros. I have a name? Foveros! A good name!'

"Alright, let's not disturb Sir Merlin right now. I'll show you around for now"

"Woof!"

Suddenly, the mental bridge between the two was cut off, and Foveros sounded like a normal dog, besides his appearance of course. James didn't think much about the fact that the dog could talk, since Sir Merlin took a liking to it, it meant that something was bound to be off about it.

Anything related to Sir Merlin would have something terribly wrong with it. That kid that Sir Merlin grew up with, Alex, was another monster in his own right. Although not as much as Merlin, he was too much of a monster for normal people. While clearing the rooms, he had predicted which rooms would have zombies and warned us in advance, and he also reminded some distracted people to reload without even looking their way!

And when Alex got a small cut on finger from touching a splinter on a broken door, his mother became the devil incarnate! James still felt shivers run down his spine remembering the lecture he had just gone through before finding Foveros.

Then there was the fire-master Jack. Sir Merlin had taken a liking to him as well. And what was he? A monster! A real monster who breaths fire!

And from what he had heard, the monstrous Team leader Sean was actually timid before meeting Sir Merlin. Now he was a ruthless beast!

So James did not find much difference with this talking dog being Merlin's pet.
